I was and still am very excited to continue care with Dr. William Cole’s team. I started my journey by taking a free thyroid quiz on his website. This confirmed that I have moderate to severe thyroid dysfunction. I had been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s in the past so this was an expected result.

I had long been told by my PCP’s that “nothing can be done” about my autoimmune diagnosis. I have suffered with low energy and metabolism, brain fog, and extreme fatigue for most of my life. So, after hearing great things about Dr. Will Cole on podcasts and overall being interested in the world of functional health in general – I decided to take the leap and setup a consultation.

It is made very clear on his website that the $720 consultation does not include a care plan. It details that further purchasing of care plans come after. Before the consultation, I filled out a very thorough (15+ page) form to describe my issues. This alone made me feel understood and cared for…as my PCP has never sat down with me to go over the seemingly “minor” issues.  I could tell that Dr. Will Cole’s team found the most value in the details.

The consultation was thorough and I was asked a ton of questions about my history and details of my symptoms.
I was a bit naïve to think that I could get all the answers in one consultation and that I could take the rest from there.
Andrea, my certified Functional Diagnostic Health Practitioner, recommended that I take an exhaustive number of tests in order to investigate my issues further as it was not clear what the root causes were just based off my form and consultation.

I understand that health is complex and everyone is different so I decided to move forward with the testing and follow up consultation (costing upwards of 4-5K). Logically, I see a great benefit in understanding the root causes of issues behind your health. I was therefore optimistic that if I followed the recommendations of the clinic, purchasing as much care as I was able to realistically – that my health long term would be in a great position.

I have just finished my follow up consultation where all the results of the tests I took were gone over in immense detail. We filled up the hour with just reviewing the tests because there was so much to cover. Andrea and team then recommended an extensive list of supplements and natural medicines to target all of my issues. I am in the process of ordering and taking those supplements now.

I am unable to afford a care plan at the moment, as I suspect many clientele may not. My plan is to take the recommended natural medicines for 3-6 months. Then re-invest by re-taking all the tests and paying for a 50 minute follow up appointment to check on my progress via the lab results. My only feedback for Dr. William Cole is to maybe find ways to be a bit more transparent with potential clients on costs. Maybe before clients put down $720 for a consultation, it would be fair to notify them that a good majority of the time – further blood tests will be required to fully understand their issues – also letting them know what their options are after the blood tests.

I am very optimistic and excited to dedicate myself to the natural medicine plan that Andrea provided. I truly feel that she looked at my health from all angles and created the recommendation list accordingly. Thank you Dr. William Cole & team to opening up my eyes to all different sides of my health. I greatly greatly appreciate you.
